31673Sports Reference Logo7/29: www.BSNDenver.com- Is Tim Tebow the most overrated player in Broncos&#8217; history?http://bsndenver.com/is-tim-tebow-the-most-overrated-player-in-broncos-history/
Tim Tebow is a lot like John Cena. You either love them or hate them. There&#8217;s no middle ground with either. The difference is Cena has ability, and he&#8217;s one of the best to ever do it. There are some in Broncos Country who still credit the &#8220;Magic of Tebow&#8221; for the incredible 82015-07-29 18:41:457/22: FootballPerspective.com- The Top Quarterbacks And The Receivers They Threw It Tohttp://www.footballperspective.com/the-top-quarterbacks-and-the-receivers-they-threw-it-to/
Last week, I looked at the top receivers and the quarterbacks who threw it to them. Today, we flip that question around and look at which receivers the top quarterbacks threw to. I used the exact same methodology from the previous post, so please read that for the fine details. For Peyton Manning, 22014-07-22 00:35:467/3: FootballPerspective.com- Best AV-Weighted Winning Percentages of Offensive Playershttp://www.footballperspective.com/best-av-weighted-winning-percentages-of-offensive-players/
Yesterday, I looked at the weighted career winning percentages for running backs, with the weight being based on each player&#8217;s yards from scrimmage in each season of his career. Today, I want to do the same thing but for all offensive players, using PFR&#8217;s Approximate Value ratings. By th2014-07-03 00:35:443/25: FootballPerspective.com- How will DeSean Jackson age?http://www.footballperspective.com/how-will-desean-jackson-age/
If you believe the rumors, the Eagles are desperately trying to trade wide receiver DeSean Jackson; absent an eligible suitor, and Philadelphia may even cut the three-time Pro Bowler. This is a pretty weird situation; what&#8217;s even weirder is how few tangible reasons have been given as to why th2014-03-25 00:36:183/23: FootballPerspective.com- Which Quarterbacks Produced Peak Years For Their Receivers?http://www.footballperspective.com/which-quarterbacks-produced-peak-years-for-their-receivers/
Some quarterbacks and wide receivers just go together. Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison. Dan Marino and Mark Clayton and Mark Duper. Joe Namath and Don Maynard. John Hadl and Lance Alworth. But quarterbacks play with lots of receivers, and receivers generally play with several quarterbacks. We don2014-03-23 00:36:193/16: FootballPerspective.com- Homer Jones Is the Leader in Average Length of Receiving Touchdownhttp://www.footballperspective.com/homer-jones-is-the-leader-in-average-length-of-receiving-touchdown/
In November, I noted that Chris Johnson was the career leader in average length of rushing touchdown. Since then, he&#8217;s actually dropped to number two, as his six rushing touchdowns covered &#8220;only&#8221; 84 yards in November and December. But what about the career leader in average length 2014-03-16 00:35:489/24: FootballPerspective.com- Receiving WOWY Extended Back to 1950http://www.footballperspective.com/receiving-wowy-extended-back-to-1950/
Last week, we announced that our True Receiving Yards metric has now been calculated back to 1950, so it&#8217;s only **** that we also compute WOWY (With Or Without You) for all of those receivers as well. Skip the paragraph after this if you don&#8217;t care about the gory mathematical details,2013-09-24 01:36:059/19: FootballPerspective.com- True Receiving Yards (v2.0) Extended Back to 1950http://www.footballperspective.com/true-receiving-yards-v2-0-extended-back-to-1950/
About a month ago, Chase &#038; I developed a stat called True Receiving Yards, which seeks to put all modern &#038; historical receiving seasons on equal footing by adjusting for the league&#8217;s passing YPG environment &#038; schedule length, plus the amount the player&#8217;s team passed (it&#82013-09-19 00:36:299/5: FootballPerspective.com- WOWY: Which Receivers Elevate Their Quarterbacks the Most?http://www.footballperspective.com/which-receivers-elevate-their-quarterbacks-the-most/
In 1998, 21-year-old Randy Moss made a stunning NFL debut, racking up 17 touchdowns and 1,260 True Receiving Yards, the 2nd-best total in football that season. The Vikings&#8217; primary quarterback that year, Randall Cunningham, was a former Pro Bowler and MVP, but all that seemed like a lifetime a2013-09-05 00:36:189/3: FootballPerspective.com- John Elway: The Quarterback Version of Dick Butkushttp://www.footballperspective.com/john-elway-the-quarterback-version-of-dick-butkus/
The consensus view on John Elway is clear. He was the greatest draft prospect ever, a league MVP, a two-time Super Bowl champion, a Hall of Famer, and one of the most clutch quarterbacks in football history. But that&#8217;s not necessarily what the numbers say. In my quarterback ranking system, whi2013-09-03 00:36:422/23: FootballPerspective.com- Trivia of the Day â€“ Sunday, February 24thhttp://www.footballperspective.com/trivia-of-the-day-sunday-february-24th/
Eight teams in NFL history have rostered five players who &#8212; at some point in their career &#8212; gained at least 1,000 receiving yards in a season. The most recent three teams were the 2003-2005 Rams, who had Torry Holt, Isaac Bruce, Marshall Faulk, Kevin Curtis, and Mike Furrey. Furrey would2013-02-23 23:35:431/5: FootballPerspective.com- Checkdowns: Career receiving stats in wins and losseshttp://www.footballperspective.com/checkdowns-career-receiving-stats-in-wins-and-losses/
Last weekend, I looked at career rushing stats in wins and losses, and yesterday, I did the same for quarterbacks. Today we will check out the splits for receivers. I looked at all games, including playoffs, from 1960 to 2011, for all players with at least 4,000 receiving yards over that time period2013-01-05 23:35:34
